Officers announced that a medical examination showed that the child had probably been mistreated but not sexually attacked. She could give officers only a vague description of the stranger, that he was tall and dark haired, and could tell but little more about the car. She also was confused as to the location of the "nond in the hills" where she said she had been taken before being finally let out of the car at Santa Ana college campus. Officers took the child and her parents on a hour drive to all bodies of water in the county, but she could not identify any of them. License numbers of automobiles reported by telephone to the sheriff's office from various citizens are being traced. Deputy Sheriff Russell Campbell of the sheriff's juvenile bureau said that investigation also is being made into the possibility that the man had some knowledge of the school bus service. He had told the little girl that the school bus would not be running that morning so he would take her to school. Actually the bus had a breakdown and was delayed. Gazette Observes 2nd Thanksgiving We celebrated Thanksgiving on Nov. 27, just like the rest of the nation. However, we received many complimentary calls from the FIRST SUNDAY EDITION of the MORNING GAZETE that we have to take the space to say, "This is our second Thanksgiving Day." It was not all good, since we had five calls from people we didn't receive their paper—these folks we apologize. We did send them their paper soon as we found out they had not received it. It's rugged on the carrier boys, getting up at 4 a.m., deliver the paper before 6 a.m., but they have competition: we saw one cute little dog that got up as early as the crier, took the paper from the home to which it was delivered and brought it home in time for coffee or whatever a dog with his morning paper. Woman 'Bookie' Arrested in SA Because she drove her through a red traffic signal thereby attracted the attention of a police patrol car, Helen Norlakey, 32, of 903 W. Bishop Santa Ana was, revealed as a woman "bookie" and today was the county jail facing such Wisconsin Governor Says U.S. Road System Depleted by $1 Billion Loss PHOENIX, Arix, Dec. 8 (UP)—America's multi-billion dollar road system is being depleted by a loss of $1,260,000,000 in motor vehicles taxes that are not used for building highways, it was reported here today. Gov. Walter J. Kohler of Wisconsin, addressing the Western Governors' Conference, said the federal government in the 1950-51 fiscal year returned to the states only $400,000,000 of the $1,660,000,000 it took from the motoring public. His remarks were the high point of a panel discussion on the thorny issue of obtaining financing for needed roads. Earlier in the day, the 10 governors attending the two-day meeting heard Reclamation Commissioner Michael Straus report that the 83rd Congress would receive a $2,100,000,000 blueprint for building reclamation projects during the next seven years. And they participated in a free-for-all verbal battle over federal vs state control of reclamation projects. Kohler called on the federal government to abandon five fields of taxation he said rightfully belong to the state. These are taxes on gasoline, distilled spirits, malted beverages, cigarettes and motor vehicle equipment. Gov. Arthur Langlie of Washington said that if the federal government didn't get out of some of the tax deals soon, states would have to go out of business. "Thirty-five cents of every dollar is taken by taxes now and the federal government is getting three-fourths of that," he asserted. Gov. Earl Warren of California pointed out that if the government did step out of the five fields of taxation, the problem of states entering these fields would still exist. State laws would have to be passed and some industries might fight against re-imposition of such taxes, he said. "We would get better highways?" he asked. Woman 'Bookie' Arrested in SA Because she drove her through a red traffic signal thereby attracted the attention a police patrol car, Helen Norlakey, 32, of 903 W. Bishop Santa Ana was, revealed as a woman "bookie" and today was the county jail facing such charge. Following her arrest she admitted that she had been made books on the races in Santa Ana during the last year, taking in the 400 block of West Fourth St., or over her telephone home. Booked at the jail, she led her occupation as "book making." Police officers stopped her after she had driven her car throttle the red flash signal at Fourth and Flower sts., at 2:20 a.m. Sunday. In her car they found cigar box containing paraphernalia for book making including $50 federal book making stamp. Tax Deadline Is Wednesday Deadline for payment of first installment of 1952-53 county taxes falls at 5 p.m. Wednesday County Tax Collector Don Mozz reminded taxpayers today. Under a new ruling, paymen made by mail must bear a mark not later than 5 p.m. D. 10 in order for the payment avoid delinquency penalty, M. Lev said. The county counsellor has so ruled. Previously, mail bearing a mark up to the deadline were accepted.

At the president-elect's side today were four men vital in the shaping of foreign and domestic policies after he takes office Jan. 20. They were the future secretary of state, the Treasury and the interior and the attorney general. Eisenhower's press secretary, James C. Hagerty, made clear that even the subjects discussed would not be disclosed, at this time and probably not until after the new administration takes office Jan. 20. However, one source close to Eisenhower squelched recurring reports that the general favored enlarging the Korean War. "Nothing is definite yet," the source said. Today Hagerty said flatly "we will make no statement on Korea." The Helena was due in Pearl Harbor at the end of its 3300-mile trip from Guam at 9 a.m. Thursday, 11 a.m. PST. The Eisenhower party will hold additional meetings for perhaps three days. Then the President-elect will fly back to his Commodore Hotel headquarters in New York City. The high level talks began in earnest only two hours after a helicopter brought secretary of state designate John Foster Dulles aboard from Wake Island Sunday. He had flown there from the United States under security wraps. Also joining the general's party by helicopter were: Gov. Douglas McKay of Oregon, next secretary of the Interior; George M. Humphrey, Cleveland investment banker, and secretary of the treasury-designate Gen. Lucius Clay, former head of the allied occupation in Germany, an old friend; Joseph W. Dodge, Detroit banker who may be the next budget director. Eisenhower's defense secretary, Charles E. Wilson, accompanied by Adm. Arthur Radford, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, left the Helena at Wake and sped on ahead to Pearl Harbor for separate military talks. They will confer with Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff and meet the Eisenhower party again on its arrival to report on their conference. New Terror Hits Czech Leaders HEAVY SNOW HITS CALIFORNIA least t New Terror Hits Czech Leaders BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec. 8. (AP)—Belgrade radio reported today "a new wave of arrests in Czechoslovakia" and said five top Communist leaders were among those being purged on order from Moscow. The radio quoted the official Yugoslav news agency Tanjug as the source of its report but gave no indication how the information was received. There was no direct word from Prague, the Czech capital. The purge list, as broadcast, included such noted figures as Gen. Ludwig Svobo, former minister of defense; Mantenin Gregor, former minister of foreign trade; Eugene Erban, minister of labor and social security; Augustin Kliment, minister heavy machinery, and Vladimir Koprivnik, former minister of national security. The shadow of a new purge has hovered over Czechoslovakia since the recent big Prague trial in which Rudolf Slansky, former boss of the Czech Communist party, was condemned to hang with 10 others. The executions were carried out last week. Three others, also convicted as traitors to Stalinism, received life sentences. Vienna reports said at least three of the six former ministers listed by Helgrade radio have been out of office and possibly under arrest for more than a year. ENID, Okla., Dec. 4. (AP)—Rollin D. Drew of Oklahoma City pressed so hurriedly on his brake while approaching a changing traffic light that he broke his leg. Northern California Dries Out SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8.

Gannett radio today they had reached the wreckage of a C-124 Globe-master which crashed at the 8:000 foot level Nov. 22, killing 52 military men aboard. The Alaska air command, which reported receipt of word from the four climbers, said no other details were available because of communications difficulties. The 12-man trail crew reached the base of the 9100 foot mountain, 60 miles east of here, nine days ago but has been hampered by bad weather and dangerous terrain in their ascent. The C-124, largest U.S. military plane in service, struck Mt. Gannet near the end of a flight to Anchorage from McChord air force base, Washington.

Police evacuated French citizens from one sector of Casablanca and planes circled Arab quarters dropping tear gas bombs to disperse mobs shouting for independence from France. Troops and police laid siege to more than 2000 Moroccan union members barricaded in the downtown headquarters of the Moroccan General Labor Confederation (CGT). The riots erupted yesterday after a 24-hour general strike call by the union. The call resulted from the unexplained assassination of Tunisian nationalist Farhst Hachied, secretary-general of the Tunisian Labor Federation. He was slain Friday outside Tunis. Police and troops in armored cars and light tanks patrolled key pots in Casablanca tonight. Other tanks helped to block off the 000 union members in the CGT building. Police began moving French and other European residents from work not included in recommendation taxes, nor the county supervisors into taking any definite action to relieve the situation. After analysis and consideration at its next meeting, the board is expected to announce its formal recommendations to Congress. Project appropriations advocated by the Conference were: Terminus Reservoir, Kawesh River, $500,000; Success Reservoir, Thule River, $1,000,000; danger zones. They were taken to a central point where arrangements were made for billeting them with French families in safer neighborhoods. The enclaved union members bombarded police lines with bricks torn from the walls of their building. At nightfall troops had apparently prevented the union demonstration from spilling over into other European quarters of the city. Authorities said today's death toll included seven Europeans, three Moroccan soldiers and at least 40 Arab demonstrators. An undetermined number of Arabs were injured. Three Europeans County Accidents Hurt only Four Only four traffic injuries were reported by the California highway patrol over the weekend in Orange county, no one being seriously hurt.

All three bodies were put to the torch and burned beyond recognition. Violence here and in neighboring Tunis came as the United Nations discussed the Tunisian question — under protest from the French government. In Paris tonight, a small cabinet group including French Foreign Minister Vincent Auriol, France maintains that the uprisings in her North African protectorates are internal problems which she alone will handle.
